Ricky Whittle & Natalie Lowe - Showdance

I wonder if the press lift will make a reappearance.



There's still moments when I wish Ricky would think about his free hand, however I must say a no-hands lift definitely makes up for that.

Shame they were a little bit off balance at the end. Lots of lifts but I actually found Chris' to be more daring.

I think having a Cha Cha based showdance was a little bit of a cop-out but I can't fault the dancing, just wish the dance had wowed me a bit better.

Only a 9 I'm afraid Ricky.

Chris Hollins & Ola Jordan - Showdance

Now I predicted that Ricky may outperform Chris in this dance, but not having seen either this will be an interesting contest.



That answers my question about whether Chris will be able to lift Ola above his head as well as Ricky!

Needs to keep his head up, and looks a little off in the Cha Cha sections but the Jive looks good, and what a one-handed lift there from Chris.

The judges looked a little scared there at the end as Chris jumps on their desk.

As ever Chris is the consumate entertainer, a little bit sloppy in places but some amazing lifts (based on my expectations!).

I'd like to give it a 9.5.
